Too many patterned knits look like they belong on a sofa rather than on a person!

Just imagine a wave of teal, ochre and cream curving down the front in soft repeating shapes, more mid-century mural than upholstery. Now stop imagining.

• Curved, Not Boxy
  Interlocking ogee shapes in teal, mustard, slate and cream flow down the knit in soft vertical waves. Curves follow the body far more kindly than squares and checks ever do.
• A Grown-Up Palette
  Muted teal and warm ochre give it a quiet mid-century feel, the sort of colour pairing that reads as deliberate rather than busy.
• Contrast Collar
  A plain sage ribbed turtleneck sets the pattern off and gives the eye somewhere to rest. It is soft at the neck and folds comfortably.
• Skims The Figure
  The vertical flow of the pattern lengthens the line while the relaxed cut skims the waist. True to size with an easy fit.
• Holds Its Shape
  Ribbed cuffs and hem keep the knit sitting where it should, so the pattern stays lined up and the shape looks the same at the end of the day as at the start.

On a person, not a sofa — the difference is in the curve and the colour. Pair it with denim or camel trousers, and it will become the patterned knit you actually wear.
